Liam tops Texas's 2025 popular boys' list with 2,688 babies, ahead of Noah at 2,450 and Mateo at 2,081.
The top of the list is remarkably settled, but Levi rises five places to No. 9 and James gains seven to No. 12. That kind of small shift is common here; the leaders stay put while smaller moves stack up beneath them.
The bigger jumps come lower down: Eithan leaps 82 places, Elian climbs 44 and Aziel rises 39. These are the kinds of names that can reshape a popular list without touching the top.
Not every familiar name is rising. Ian falls 21 places and Dylan drops 15. Around them, the list mixes biblical staples such as Elijah, Samuel and Josiah with surname-style choices like Hudson, Cooper and Walker, plus short picks Leo, Jack and Beau.
